Outdoor Pelargonium (hybrids)

hybrids between Pelargonium peltatum and Pelargonium zonale

Interspecific hybrids of Pelargonium zonale and Pelargonium peltatum are a group of plants selectively adapted for outdoor cultivation due to their high weather resistance.

In the reference 8 varieties crop Ivy-leaved geranium, where this is mentioned in the description.

Interspecific hybrids combine the abundant flowering of zonal pelargoniums with high heat and precipitation tolerance inherited from Pelargonium peltatum. Due to their semi-trailing habit and flexible shoots, they are suitable for flower beds, borders, and containers, often exhibiting ground-covering properties.

Plants of this group possess high "weather resistance" and tolerate direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations better than the parent species. Despite their adaptation to harsh environments, the hybrids are not frost-hardy and require protection from frosts both at the time of planting and at the end of the season.
